I can tell you this for certain- if I have to choose between XBOX 720, XBOXPC, Apple or Linux I'm choosing Linux. I'll just find something else to spend time on.

Maybe Android will make their move too- Google is coming after no-value cable companies that are ripe for the taking and perhaps so is MS.

Would you actually go with Android? What would the difference be between AndroidPC and XboxPC? Absolutely none. None at all.

Not sure what you disagree with,either. That Microsoft will start nickel-and-diming every single possible aspect in order to ruin your fun? No, Microsoft is not that stupid. Microsoft did not get this far by doing that*, and they won't do it now. They know that it's better to make a little bit of money off of each user of an enormous user base than a lot of money off of each user of a shrinking user base. They would much rather cultivate a large base than dominate a small base.

* Of course, at the same time Apple has dominated a small base and it's quickly risen to the largest base of its type and made the them the largest tech company in the world.
